Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Add chopped onions, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Stir until the vegetables are tender.
Season to Perfection: Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir well. This will infuse your meat mixture with those authentic Mexican flavors.
Layer it Up: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, start layering your lasagna. Begin with a layer of corn tortillas, followed by a portion of the beef mixture, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Pour a generous amount of salsa over each layer and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Repeat and Top: Continue layering until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of tortillas on top. Make sure to end with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese for that irresistible golden crust.
Bake to Perfection: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños for those who crave a bit of heat. Serve each portion with a dollop of sour cream.
